Afghanistan's women team still waiting

Goalkeeper Fati on the uncertain football future for Afghanistan's women and how she's found a new home in Australia.

In 2021, Afghanistan's women's national players fled Kabul to Australia, following the return to power of the Taliban. No women's team representing Afghanistan has kicked a ball in international football since.

We catch up with goalkeeper Fati, who's now living and studying in Melbourne, to find out what life's like in Australia, what she wants from FIFA, and how the Women's World Cup has impacted her.
